Good to the last drop! Saw the other lamb crawling between the shepherd's legs (might miss something good). Love, love love the lambs tails as they get their milkshake! Brings back fond memories. Happy 4th!

Traditional 1927 Shetland Sheep

About Us

We are striving to raise shetland sheep that are healthy and produce very fine wool even as adults. We cater to the discriminating handspinner who expects shetland wool to be the finest of all the UK breeds. Our fleeces usually micron in the low 20's at the mid rib, with uniform quality from the neck to just above the hind leg (britch).

Whispering Pines Farm is home to the Johnson family and their flock of registered shetland sheep. We are members of the national shetland breeders association, flock #955.

Shetland Sheep are the smallest of the British sheep breeds. They are bred for their wool, which is very soft and fine, a delight for handspinners. Shetland Sheep are very hardy, and easy to care for. They are ideal for families with smallchildren, handspinners and breeders. They come in 11 colors and 30+ patterns. Don't need a lot of space, as they are small and compact.

Visits to our farm are always welcomed, we love to show off our animals and demonstrate how we use the wool in various craft applications. We have lambs and adult sheep available for sale all through the year. Email us at jen6265@gmail.com.
